thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.
i also really like halloween and the fourth of july because these holidays involve the least amount of pressure and the highest volume of alcohol (and candy. and hotdogs). think about it - no family obligations, easy food prep, and fun for all ages (ie costumes and fireworks). if you don’t have big plans on halloween, no problem. just stay home, watch a scary movie, and hand out candy to trick-or-treaters. and drink wine. it is very important not to forget the wine.
but thanksgiving is my favorite “real” holiday. its centered around delicious food, wine, and freedom. not to mention the white-man stealing the land from the indians, (HOW!) but lets not let this slight unpleasantness ruin a perfectly scrumptious holiday. this is a day where it’s totally acceptable to be drinking before noon, have marshmallows during the main course, and unbutton your pants at the dinner table. all things considered, it’s hard to disagree with this delectable tradition no matter how it came about. i mean, what’s a little land thieving if, in celebration, we get to eat pie?
so this year, everyone eat, nap, and eat again. and maybe, between rounds, find a little time to plan a trip to your nearest native american owned casino. you know, to give back.
